Tenants who can’t pay their rent because of COVID-19 continue to have protections against eviction.

The City of Santa Ana’s moratorium on evictions due to non-payment of rent related to financial impacts from COVID-19 will expire on Sept. 30, 2020. However, a new California law enacted a statewide eviction moratorium for residential tenants, and the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also ordered a national residential eviction moratorium.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTIAL EVICTION MORATORIUM:

No residential tenant can be evicted before Feb. 1, 2021, as a result of rent owed due to a COVID-19 related hardship accrued March 4 to Aug. 31, 2020, if the tenant provides a declaration of hardship according to the legislation’s timelines. For a COVID-19 related hardship that accrues between Sept. 1, 2020, and Jan. 31, 2021, tenants must also pay at least 25 percent of the cumulative rent due to avoid eviction.

Tenants are still responsible for paying unpaid amounts to landlords, but those unpaid amounts cannot be the basis for an eviction. The legislation also extends anti-foreclosure protections in the Homeowner Bill of Rights to small landlords.

FEDERAL RESIDENTIAL EVICTION MORATORIUM:

The CDC a temporary halt in residential evictions to prevent the further spread of COVID-19 through Dec. 31, 2020. Tenants must provide a declaration form to their landlord or owner of the residential property where they live.

Moratorias en Desalojo Estatal y Federal Reemplazan la de la Ciudad

Los inquilinos que no pueden pagar su renta debido a COVID-19 continúan teniendo protecciones contra el desalojo.

La moratoria en desalojos de la Ciudad de Santa Ana debido a la falta de pago de la renta relacionada con los impactos financieros de COVID-19 vencerá el 30 de septiembre de 2020. Sin embargo, una nueva ley de California promulgó una moratoria de desalojo en todo el estado para inquilinos residenciales y los Centros para el Control y Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC) federales también ordenaron una moratoria nacional en desalojos residenciales.

MORATORIO EN DESALOJOS RESIDENCIALES DE CALIFORNIA:

Ningún inquilino residencial puede ser desalojado antes del 1 de febrero de 2021 como resultado del alquiler adeudado debido a una dificultad relacionada con COVID-19 acumulada del 4 de marzo al 31 de agosto de 2020, si el inquilino proporciona una declaración de dificultad de acuerdo con los plazos de la legislación. Para una dificultad relacionada con COVID-19 que se acumule entre el 1 de septiembre de 2020 y el 31 de enero de 2021, los inquilinos también deben pagar al menos el 25 por ciento del alquiler acumulado adeudado para evitar el desalojo.

Los inquilinos siguen siendo responsables de pagar las cantidades impagas a los propietarios, pero esas cantidades impagas no pueden ser la base para un desalojo. La legislación también extiende las protecciones contra la ejecución hipotecaria en la Declaración de Derechos del Propietario a los pequeños propietarios.

MORATORIO FEDERAL EN DESALOJOS RESIDENCIALES:

Los Centros para el Control de Enfermedades ordenaron una suspensión temporal de los desalojos residenciales para evitar una mayor propagación del COVID-19 hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2020. Los inquilinos deben proporcionar un formulario de declaración a su arrendador o propietario de la propiedad residencial donde viven.
